2 problems
First pronlem not soo bad. Went to get my oil changed and the part where you put the oil in has split. I put a clamp around it and it seems tobe fine just wondering if anyone knows some sealant i can use to close it because seems liek its gonna be hard to replace the whole part. I made a picture of what it looks like dotn have a camera with me but you can get the idea
2nd problem could be bad
After driving around for a little while it starts to smell like burning plastic. twice i have seen smoke. once it came out from the hood. The second time i had the hood popped up to try and find if something really was melting or what and saw a smoke also made a pic of where i saw it from. No clue what it is but my buddy said when he had a problem with the head gasket it smelled like that. Instaly i thought of rygens car and he said it bogged so i dont think it was that. Any ideas?
pt where smoke is

RE: 2 problems
My guess is that problem number 1 is causing problem number two.
Do you know what burned oil smells like?
What color is the smoke?
You may be dripping oil onto your exhaust, which would then burn.
Does the smoke have a slight bluish tint to it? If so, that's oil.
I would get the oil fill fixed.

RE: 2 problems
did some more data logging on a small drive during lunch. Noticed it misfires sometimes during accelerating from a light. It doesnt misfire at wot is the weird thing. Also is just having some rndom misfires. Wish i had the computer link to upload my data logs. Also is idling 212 degrees which is probably normal. Anyways taking it in on monday just trying to figure out what it could be before i take it in.
edit: forgot one thing the engine is doing a fast click click click sound. Ive had it for a while but never found any problem with it before. But the clicking has seemed to grow louder and faster now that i am having this problem. I think i made a post click not compressor a long time ago. This for sure is not the air compressor. Any ideas what can make itclick pretty sure its not any belts or anything also
Edit: 1 moe thign the car feels like it is running fine. Its just the random puff of smoke and the plastic fire smell that is bothering me
